Gender in Games

Gender in Games

Segregation in a male dominated industry

The article explains how the gender of the designers directly influence the target audience and the gender of the people playing the game.

As shown by the graphic below, the older you get the less games you play which would be expected stereotypically, but there isn't any real correlation about how many hours they spend playing games.



The article made me realise how male dominated the games design industry and even though people don't want to affect whether games are targetted at boys or girls, it is hard to help when there are no women on the team.
